sorry, for the typo, everyone. MF sells it currently for $749.00. Now, if all of sudden an internet retailer decides to temporarily put that above item on a "blow out" sale, that's their business, naturally. Nevertheless, the price I am asking is a steal. Fellow bassists who are interested in this excellent combo should check some review sites, i.e. Harmony Central, etc. Even there the individual purchase price varies drastically. That does not shy away from that fact that this combo is excellent, compact, warm sounding and in brand new condition and NOT refurbished. I purchased this item brand new. So, Eric, if you want to keep classifieds accurate, everyone appreciates this, but then also, be accurate.

Jschro et al, my apologies; I made an error in my post. (I swear MF had them at zzounds prices recently what i looked though they sure don't have them now). I deleted it due to my error.

incidentally, I own one myself and it is simply outstanding. And Smash: no, the bass cube has more effects: flanger, t-wah, delay, and reverb (both have compression and chorus). the bass cube has more amp models, though IMO the three offered on the db500 are plenty (tube, tube drive, solid state).

however, the db-500 has a parametric mid unlike the Cube, and 2 memory slots; I think it also may have a more advanced chorus than the Cube ('d-chorus') that doesn't kill your low end. And of course it has 130 more watts, and a larger speaker. not sure if the Cube has a tweeter but the db500 does.

i traded up to the db-500 from a Rumble 60 and unsurprisingly it was like night and day. the roland is actally smaller but it trounces the Fender in every way. I can get many many different sounds out of it at last.

no damage done. I agree, the 500 has better integrated effects and the solid state, tube & tube overdrive selector is excellent. You can really make this little thing sound like a full ampeg 2x15 rig. It is brand new, and loud enough for up to mid size gigs. I am selling most of my cabs and combos for several reasons. First, I have a WW Ultra and a brand new EA Iamp 800. Second, I am coming out with my own bass cab lineup within the next weeks. It will be introduced at the summer Namm show in TN if everything goes as plan.

It's no secret. The cabs I had designed will be very, very compact and loud. I always hated it having problems storing a 4x10 cab in a car trunk, they don't fit. My cabs (various models) will fit in any trunk with ease and will have more power and low end than standard cabs.
